Pro(sort of)
-If your hat is on the table recruits see the logo/brand even if it isn't picked
-If your hat isn't on the table nobody notices the ones not picked
-It is done so often that it is an after thought most times.
-Kids are having fun, no one is actually hurt by it

Cons
-Public rejection
-It is just a show put on to get attention (drama queen)

First, the joy I get from seeing a kid put on an Orange and Green hat far outweighs the disappointment I get when a kid takes a Canes hat, throws it off to the side, and puts on a different colored hat. For example, a few years back I remember watching the Xavier Nixon commitment while I was in the gym. He picked up a green canes hat. I almost popped a chubby right then and there by the chest press machine. But after he tossed it away and put on the Gators hat, I was already over the whole thing.

Now if it were the other way around (and my disappointment outweighed my joy) I would be totally against it because so much more often than not, the kid is opting for a hat other than an Orange and Green one.

Second, when a kid puts on a canes hat and throws up the U on national TV, I love him. I get to look forward to rooting for the kid for the next few years. On the other hand, when I see a kid toss the canes hat to the side and a pick a different hat, I automatically despise the kid. I get to look forward to rooting against him during his entire career. Either way, the hat trick enhances my college football viewing experience.
